Library Services

Many courses require independent research and reading outside of the classroom. Library resources provide the materials and opportunities to accomplish this goal and to help students learn and grow within and beyond the classroom. Library services for all NPRC students are provided by the Warren Public Library in conjunction with the Pennsylvania Power Library system.

Digital Resources 

Students can access most library services digitally. These online resources include non-fiction and fiction e-books, research databases covering a variety of general subject matter, as well as databases focused on specific subjects and disciplines. NPRC Student IDs also serve as the College’s library card, providing students with 24/7 access to these digital resources.

Library Assistance  

The best resource for help with specific research or reading assignments are course instructors. As an additional resource, NPRC’s library services include a “Chat with a Librarian” feature which offers 24/7 assistance with general library navigation, research questions, and other library-related topics. Librarians are also available to students by phone or in person. To access these library resources, visit the Warren Public Library website.
